Two roads in our area have been included on a map showing the most dangerous routes in the UK.

The latest Road Safety Foundation report, published today, says the A1084, between Brigg and Caistor, is a high risk road and the A1077, between South Ferriby and the A160 near South Killingholme, is listed as medium to high risk.

The 15km section of the A18 near Grimsby - from its junction with the A46 near Laceby and its junction with the A16 near Ludborough - has been named as the ninth most deadly road in the country.

Between 2013 and 2015, there were 11 fatal or serious crashes on that stretch of the A18, including one death, a statistic that represents a drop of six from the period between 2011 and 2013.

The A1077 was the scene of a tragic crash a few weeks ago, which claimed the lives of two men after an Astra collided with an Audi between South Ferriby and Barton.

Nationally, the number of people killed on Britain's roads increased by four per cent, from 1,730 in 2015 to 1,792 in 2016, the highest annual total since 2011.

An average of 71 people were killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads every day, and 19 per cent of local authority roads by length are high risk or medium-high risk, and as such have "unacceptably high levels of risk".
